Resilience of Fishery Economy in Fujian Coastal Areas from the Perspective of Institutional Evolution by Leng Yun, Wei Suqiong, You Xiaojun, Ren Zhihuang

“…Three main conclusions are drawn: 1) Under the influence of different types of shocks (the super-typhoon in 2006, the financial crisis in 2008, and the upgrading of the fishing industry in 2017), the output value fluctuates significantly owing to the dual effects of production and supply, and the output is more strongly affected by production and more drastically reflective of natural disasters. 2) A spatial regularity exists in the impact of regional crises (typhoons) on industrial resilience resistance; the closer to the disaster center, the poorer the performance of industrial resilience resistance. …”
